The Search for Jesus: Peter Jennings Reporting

What traces might Jesus have left in the arid lands he once called home? In this program, ABC News anchor Peter Jennings engages a group of religious experts in an exchange of ideas as controversial as they are fascinating. James Strange, a Baptist minister and archaeologist digging in the Galilee; Dominic Crossan, a former monk with a fiercely political image of Jesus; Hanan Eschel, a Jewish archaeologist who views the ancient Holy Land as something akin to 1960s Berkeley; and the Reverend Thomas Wright, a canon theologian who supports traditional and evangelical views of Jesus, provide keen insights into the life of arguably the most famous man in history.
